Characters whose deaths angered you

I don't really get affected by cartoon deaths too much unless there's something that really pisses me off. But there have been a couple to really get under my skin.

Fullmetal Alchemist
Let me state that I am an animal person. I like animals over people. (I'm not in a group or anything but yeah..) Nina's death, while I understand why Scar did it, it truly pissed me off to the point to where I gave up on the series. Had I continue watching it I would've/could've went off on everybody that said something to me. (bad or nice, I probably would've taken a swing at you.)

Naruto
Kakashi. The only reason I had a problem with Kakashi's death was because of the way he supposedly died. I wouldn't have minded seeing him kick the bucket but at least let him go out with a bang instead of dying to chakra exhaustion.

Death Note
Rem. I'm not a fan of hers, but the way she died had me hating Kira.
 
Lol what at Naruto?(oh wait is that a response to the english manga? If so then forget my spoiler tag. =p)

Kakashi never died >_> he's still alive dude. You got a whole lot of catching up to do.
 
Gurren Lagann

I am suprised no one mentioned Kamina's death. I'm not saying it annoyed me or anything...

DragonBall Z
Goku dying in the Cell Saga didn't annoy me. What annoyed is why and how he had to be brought back to life. I still think it should've been Gohan who finished off Buu, especially after the end of the Cell Saga.
 
Death Note
Naomi Misora

Note I'm not angry, or even bothered that she died. It's the poor writing of that scene that bothered me.
 
Not to pick an argument, but what about that scene did you find poorly written? Only curious.

Not to repeat myself, but it's almost like Masashi Kishimoto writes his villains just to alleviate his boredom, at which point he decides "nobody likes the villains" and kills them in what, for him, is the most convenient way possible.

Also, am I the only one who notices that Leomon, in some incarnation or another, always dies? Because I found it annoying that in Tamers, when Beelzebumon is trying desparately to get her out, going so far as to use Juu-Ou-Ken to try and save her - and then she just says "you're not Leomon" and backs off. She just withdrew and couldn't forgive Beelzebumon - though that scene is actually changed for the better in the manga.
 
Well,
Light tells Misora how he's on the same secret group with his father and L, and Misora believes him. The problem was the reason why they met however was because Light went to the same police station as Misora to bring his dad things. As an ex FBI operative, Misora should have instantly noticed that if Light was with his father and L, they would not have met.

If she's supposed to die, I'm fine with that. But females in works of fiction are always getting shafted, so I would have wanted the death to be powerful.
 
Do you mean
"his" father?
Not to be nitpicky, but just pointing that out.

That said, yeah, she did fall a little too easily for Light's trick.
 
Gohan was supposed to defeat Buu. It was pretty obvious with the Great Saiyaman ordeal, the world tournament in which Gohan's energy was the energy needed by Babidi's minions, and the whole training in the Kai world that the entire Buu arc was being written around Gohan and his development. But noooo, the Japanese fans just couldn't accept Goku and Vegeta not doing the job, so they got to defeat Buu instead. To this day, that's my biggest gripe with the Buu arc. It was going so well until that point...
 
Leomon probably suffers from what I call Aslan Syndrome. Like the Kenny Syndrome, a character repeadly dies important death and is seen just fine some time latter



Revenge is but letting one's passions get the better of you, and getting you to do a greater injustice. Justice demanRAB that we determine the whole picture before dispensing it.
 
I think the ONLY death that 'made me mad' was in Trigun.

Wolfwood

Death Note has more then a few deaths that still get me thinking.

Ultimately the only death that really made me sad was Kiyomi Takada, although I cant deny it was a critical plot point.

Theres a particular death in Gundam 00 I was disappointed with.

Graham Aker's death was very anti-climatic. I don't think Gundam 00 ever really made good use of his character, but to top things off, his encounter with the guy he was seeking to kill all throughout S2 was pretty much met with a "Who are you" by Setsuna F Seiei while delivering the final blow.

There certainly has been some heart wrenching deaths throughout the years.

Yu Yu Hukasho:
Genkai's death during the Dark Tournament Saga was certainlly one of the hardest ones for me. I still tear up watching it.

Zatch Bell:
Kido's death and its effect on the team was another that was pretty hard to take. By this point in the anime, Dr. Riddles was becoming a core character. Seeing how this effected him was really depressing.

I keep thinking there's someone in Escaflowne that died that I was really moved by but its been so long since I've seen the series I just cant recall anyone.

Although not anime, Superman's death in Hereafter was probably one of the saddest moments I've seen in Animation History.
 
Um...
Graham didn't die. Setsuna recognised that he'd become obsessed with fighting Gundams as a pseudo samurai and so left him with the idea of pursuing a new and better focus in his life. He briefly considers suicide but is seen alive and well in a casual suit in the epilogue.

Also, both he and Setsuna recognised each other straight away in season 2. They just didn't name names.
 
That's not even fair. Just because Beelzebumon came to her rescue doesn't make him automatically forgivable. Keep in mind that not only did he kill Juri's partner, he in essence ATE HIM. Him using Leomon's move was only a reminder of that. It's like if a superhero with fire powers, who used to be a villain, tried to rescue the girl whose house he burned down, killing her family. How would you expect her to react?
 
Scryed: I could understand Sherish's death. Kimishima's ticked me off, but it had some sentimentality and reasoning for it.

But Ayase's death was uncalled for, especially since she practically just "died off" in the middle of battle without having Kazuma lay a single finger on her. Just because your bro died doesn't mean you go and kill over from nothing...other than possible strain from refinement.

Either way, dont give Kazuma this "Big encouragement from dead friend" just to recover and have another friend "die" from ********. Honestly....
 
All the same, something about that scene just doesn't sit right with me. In the manga, though, she's actually willing to take his hand, but he gets shot down before she can - makes her at least a bit appreciative, more than in the anime.

And yeah, I do know Beelzebumon did a pretty bad thing, but still....gah.
 
I think it comes down to innocence, whatever you happen to think of the character. Lelouch fought injustice as Zero but his plans ended up affecting characters who he never thought deserved to be hurt, which is a bitter irony.

To me it's sort of like Louise in Gundam 00...sure, she was an aloof brat in season one and didn't really see what was going on around her, but she didn't deserve the trauma that she went through. Shirley is basically the same, even if she's more annoying due to her infatuation with Lelouch.

And let's not even start on Euphemia, who honestly wanted to make the world a better place......
 
The difference to my mind (Geass and 00 spoilers)
Louise didn't live in a parody world where she was a prime citizen of a racist empire, attending school in a land they had conquered and strip of dignity. 00 always had a theme about challenging the world around you but Geass perhaps needed it more but never got it. With all the weighty issues occuring in Geass, Shirley and her 'Lulu' obsessing were small, ignorant potatoes. Yet another modern Sunrise anime that offers cheap teen archetypes instead of actual characters.
